Why America Absolutely Doesn’t Need a Hate Speech Law

By: Bruce Hausknecht

Recently, Richard Stengel, a former editor of Time, wrote an opinion piece for The Washington Post entitled “Why America needs a hate speech law.” In it, he argues the Framers’ vision for the protection of speech via the First Amendment is outdated. It was “engineered for a simpler era,” in Stengel’s opinion.

So what’s different about today? Stengel blames the Internet. Truth doesn’t always win out, as we once believed, because “in the age of social media, the marketplace model doesn’t work.” He cites a 2016 Stanford University study that supposedly shows that 82% of middle schoolers couldn’t distinguish between “fake news” and an actual news story.

What I Witnessed at the National Adoption Month Celebration in Washington, D.C.
By: Dr. Sharen Ford

Today was an unusual day.  I started the day standing in line waiting to get into the Hubert H. Humphrey Building to take part in the 2019 National Adoption Month Celebration.  We stand in line to attend a movie and expect to have the big screen wow us and pull on our emotions.  I stood in line for over thirty minutes this morning, but a movie wasn’t playing.  Today was filled with the voices of adolescents and young adults sharing their adoption story. We heard from the families that welcomed them home. Each family made a conscious choice to adopt a teen and open their heart and home.

Our master of ceremonies was a 16-year-old African American young man who spoke about his lack of hope until his worker told him a family wanted to adopt him. He shared that having a family meant having a future.

Family is a powerful resource. Having caring, loving adults in your life will make a difference now and make a difference for your future. One young man shared how his family helped to reshape his behavior and he felt he was becoming the person others would want to be around.

New Version of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” Is a Politically Correct Mess
By: Brittany Raymer

The new version of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” by John Legend officially dropped last Friday, and it’s interesting to say the least. The goal of this new version was to make it less suggestive of date-rape and more politically correct. Needless to say, the song missed the mark and is another example of the progressive agenda gone amuck.

The desire to change “Baby It’s Cold Outside” from the beginning was misguided at best. Last year, when there was an outcry about the song’s supposed “date-rapey” references, as Vanity Fair put it, the more level heads actually prevailed. The controversy actually helped the 1940s song make it to the top 10 of the Billboard charts. But John Legend wanted to put his own spin on the song, and it comes across more as an exercise of ego and political correctness than holiday joy.
